Installing other applications and files
You can also install applications and files on your handheld that did not come on the CD. For any files that you install, there must be an application on your handheld that can read these files. For example, you can view photos only if you have an application such as palmOne™ Media on your handheld.
Here are the types of files you can install on your handheld:
• Applications designed for Palm OS®
handhelds, including PRC and PDB
•Image files, including BMP, JPEG, and TIF (uncompressed), GIF for use with palmOne Media
•Video files, including MPEG-1 and ASF (MPEG-4) for use with palmOne Media
•MP3 and RealAudio audio files (these files are installed only on the expansion card) for use with RealOne Mobile Player
•Microsoft Office files, such as Word, Excel, and PowerPoint documents, for use with Documents To Go
